How to watch the Summer Game Fest 2024 live stream

As one of the hardest demo appointments to get into at Summer Game Fest's Play Days, we were excited to get hands-on with a quick thirty-minute demonstration of Phantom Blade Zero. Hardcore action titles such as this can have such a different vibe between watching someone else play the game during an online stream versus being able to pick up a controller and play for yourself. It was during Summer Game Fest 2024 that we finally got a brief taste of the Wuxia action players can look forward to in Phantom Blade Zero, a title that needs no introduction nor experience with the studio's prior titles as this is intended to be a prequel to the other Phantom Blade titles.

This year’s Summer Game Fest is officially in the bag, though host and producer Geoff Keighley still has Gamescom Opening Night Live and The Game Awards coming later this year. Nevertheless, Keighley has confirmed that Summer Game Fest will return in June 2025, venturing to Los Angeles.

Wccftech recently had the opportunity to get an intimate behind-closed-doors look at Monster Hunter Wilds with a 30-minute gameplay demonstration from the Director of the title himself, Yuya Tokuda. During this hands-off demo, Capcom showcased a selection of early game content, from departing the main village and venturing out into the wilds with a map size that they’re already touting as over two times larger than previous titles and featuring a seamless transition with no loading from camp to quest.

The PlayStation Blog crew flew down to Los Angeles, CA to attend Summer Game Fest Play Days and go hands-on (and off) with a variety of upcoming PS5 games. From titles both big and small, launching soon or further in the future, here are 11 exciting games we checked out at Summer Game Fest.

Even with the handful of Monster Hunter Wilds trailers released so far, there’s still a lot we don’t know about. Over the weekend, I was lucky enough to watch a 30-minute Monster Hunter Wilds gameplay demo and talk with three veteran developers of the Monster Hunter series: art director and executive director Kaname Fujioka; series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto; and director Yuya Tokuda.

The not-E3 week of game reveals is only just getting started, but from a PlayStation perspective, it was today's Summer Game Fest live show from Geoff Keighley that is likely to have brought most of the news. Sony already aired its State of Play livestream, and Xbox and Ubisoft are set to follow on Sunday and Monday respectively.

We're mere days away from Summer Game Fest — an event that now strives to fill the rather large hole that E3 left behind. Geoff Keighley's big summer bash may not have the grandeur of those legendary stage shows, but it's still prominent enough to attract announcements and updates from publishers all over the world.

That's another Summer Game Fest live showcase from Geoff Keighley in the books, providing another two hours' worth of news and announcements. Below you will find a complete list of all the reveals related to PS5 and PS4 games, but if you are looking for Nintendo and Xbox-specific things, please refer to our sister sites Nintendo Life and Pure Xbox.

Geoff Keighley clearly cares deeply about games, and we won’t hear otherwise. This is a man who started out as a journalist with a surging passion for the medium, and has fast-tracked his career in such a way that he’s almost become the unelected voice of enthusiast gamers. While that’s a title he’d likely shy away from, there’s no denying he’s made himself a face of the industry, and that’s through sheer determination and hard-earned connections.

The Artful Escape developers Beethoven & Dinosaur are following up their musical platformer with another soundtrack-driven narrative game. Mixtape draws on the classic tropes of coming-of-age teen flicks, adds striking stop motion-style visuals and completes the package with a soundtrack that would feel right at home in a John Hughes movie.

There were big expectations for Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase this year, the first summer event since the $68.7 billion Activision Blizzard and Microsoft merger in 2023. “It’s the biggest moment of the year to show you the future of gaming with Xbox,” Xbox Wire editor Joe Skrebels wrote in a news release ahead of the event.
